Upcoming contest for teachers

Remember how there's a new channel for explicitly educational content? That's not all we're doing for teachers. We will also be running a contest specifically for educators*, so fire up those school-provided laptops and start thinking about some awesome projects you might be able to share with the Instructables community.

If you'd like to win a MacBook Air, a class set of Instructables pro memberships, and other unnamed secret prizes, you just need to enter an academic Instructable or guide. We'd love to have anything academic, from elementary school art projects like construction paper masks to a university-level electrophoresis demonstration.

*Just because you don't have a .edu email address doesn't mean you won't have something to contribute. If you can teach something (factoring, researching a thesis, throwing a pot, or modifying shutter speeds for low-light situations, whatever), we want you to share it.

@Goodhart: Channel your inner metal shop teacher and go for it. I will have a chat with the person in charge of shepherding new entries into the contest to ensure that he accepts DIY anvils and other old world skills. (Provided the project includes a learning objective, your entry will be welcomed with open arms.)
